|Spiritual Awareness • Discernment • Identity • Leadership|
Most people watch Game of Thrones for the action, dragons, and politics.
But Kingdom men… we see something deeper.
Because behind the sword fights, betrayals, and power struggles is a message the Bible has been teaching for thousands of years:
There are invisible kingdoms influencing the visible world.
And whether you realize it or not — you are being led by one of them.
Just like Westeros had:
- the realm of men
- the unseen threat beyond the Wall
- hidden forces influencing kings
- spiritual powers nobody believed in until it was too late
…so does the world we live in today.
This post is not about endorsing the show spiritually.
It’s about extracting wisdom — because God can use anything to speak to you if your discernment is strong.
In fact, you saw this clearly in the last post on Sansa Stark (Read our post on Sansa Stark and her symbolic rise to power)— how her character arc teaches identity, pain-forged purpose, and quiet rulership.
Now let’s go deeper.
GOT(Game of Thrones) Reminds Us There Are Kingdoms You Can’t See But Must Discern
In Game of Thrones, the greatest threat wasn’t the people fighting for thrones —
it was the ice kingdom gathering strength in the shadows.
Most of the characters were too distracted with titles, politics, ego, and entertainment to notice a spiritual war approaching.
And does that not sound familiar?
Many men today are:
- distracted
- numbed
- overstimulated
- emotionally unfocused
- spiritually disconnected
- led by culture instead of calling
Meanwhile, spiritual influence works daily — pulling minds, shaping desires, steering behavior.
If the Holy Spirit isn’t guiding a man, something else is.
There is no neutral leadership.
The Holy Spirit Is the Only Guide That Leads You Beyond the Wall
Jon Snow saw the truth early.
He ventured “beyond the Wall” — the unknown place most men avoid.
A place:
- of truth
- of confrontation
- of revelation
- of danger
- of spiritual clarity
Kingdom men must also go “beyond the Wall,” meaning:
- into prayer
- into introspection
- into discipline
- into silence
- into spiritual truth that challenges identity
- into places uncomfortable but necessary
The Holy Spirit reveals what the natural eye can’t see.
Without Him, you fight the wrong battles
— chasing titles, distractions, temptation, status, validation —
never realizing the real war is spiritual.
GOT Is a Reminder That Every Man Is Being Shaped by a Kingdom
In the show, every character’s decisions were shaped by an unseen allegiance:
- Some served the throne
- Some served family
- Some served fear
- Some served shadows
- Some served prophecy
- Some served revenge
Likewise, every man today is shaped by:
- purpose or pressure
- conviction or temptation
- destiny or distraction
- divine calling or cultural programming
If you don’t intentionally choose the Kingdom of God, you default into another influence.
Even if you think you’re “just living life.”
Discernment Is a Masculine Strength — Not a Soft Skill
One of the most powerful lessons from GOT is how discernment saves lives.
Think of:
- Bran’s spiritual sight
- Jon’s intuition
- Arya’s awareness
- Tyrion’s wisdom
- Sansa’s learned discernment
These characters survived not because they were the strongest, but because they were spiritually and psychologically aware.
Kingdom men MUST develop:
- spiritual discernment
- emotional intelligence
- inner hearing
- self-awareness
- prophetic sensitivity
- disciplined thinking
Discernment is a masculine gift — not a mystical one.
GOT Teaches Men to Stop Sleeping on the Real War
Just like Westeros was arguing over thrones while the true enemy marched closer —
men today argue over distractions while spiritual forces shape their lives.
The Bible calls it:
“principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places.”
(Ephesians 6:12)
No sword can fight that.
No title can protect you.
No physical strength can defeat it.
Only spiritual alignment can.
This is why Kingdom men must:
- stay prayerful
- stay sober-minded
- stay spiritually alert
- stay emotionally stable
- stay purpose-driven
- stay connected to God’s voice
The show is a metaphor for what Scripture already told us:
The greatest battles are invisible before they become visible.
God Can Use Entertainment to Speak — If You’re Paying Attention
You don’t have to idolize entertainment…
but you also don’t have to shut your eyes to truth woven into fiction.
God can speak through:
- music
- stories
- characters
- films
- shows
- metaphors
- even fantasy worlds
Because truth is truth, wherever it hides.
Jesus used stories.
The prophets used symbols.
The Bible uses parables.
Sometimes God will use a TV show to:
- wake you up
- warn you
- encourage you
- instruct you
- sharpen your discernment
- reveal identity
The key is eyes to see and ears to hear.
FINAL WORD
Game of Thrones is not “the gospel.”
But it is a mirror — a symbolic reminder of the unseen kingdoms the Bible talks about.
If you’re not being led by the Holy Spirit, you are being led by something.
Culture is a kingdom.
Lust is a kingdom.
Fear is a kingdom.
Trauma is a kingdom.
Purpose is a kingdom.
The Spirit of God is a kingdom.
Choose intentionally.
And the next time you watch a show, read a story, or see a character arc like Sansa Stark’s, look deeper.
There may be revelation waiting for you beneath the entertainment.
Because God will use anything to reach a man who is paying attention.
